## Pricing

**Model**: Paid

7-day free trial of Max. Pro costs $60 per month with $90 of monthly usage for up to 5 users; Max costs $200 per month with $400 of monthly usage for up to 10 users; Enterprise is custom. The allowance covers Tembo Gateway model usage and cloud VM compute; your own keys or Claude, Codex or SuperGrok subscriptions add no inference cost.

## Who it is for

- **Best for**: Teams that want background agents to build and verify full-stack changes with running previews, triggered from the tools they already use.
- **Not ideal for**: Solo developers who want a free plan after the trial, or teams that only need simple code edits without full environments.

## Verdict

A broad, well-integrated platform for running any coding agent in complete cloud environments, strongest for teams that need previews and many integrations.

## Recent updates

Tembo now positions itself around cloud coding agents with full environments and previews, offering Pro and Max plans with dollar-denominated usage allowances and VM compute metered by the second.
